The Life of Ballālasena 2.18

The royal sages said:
Explain, O greatly wise one, the divisions of Brahmins, Kṣatriyas,
Vaiśyas, and the lowest born; we have the greatest curiosity to hear.

Vyāsa said:
The Sārasvatas, Kānyakubjas, Gauḍas, Maithilas, and Utkalas:
these are renowned as the five Gauḍas, living north of the Vindhyas.

The Karṇāṭas, Tailaṅgas, Gurjaras, those living in Rāṣṭra,
and the Andhras: these are the five Drāviḍas, living south of the Vindhyas.

The Maga Brahmins, however, emerged anciently from the solar disc;
shining like the blazing sun, they descended to Śākadvīpa.

Thus the classes of Brahmins.
The Pāṇḍavas, Pauravas, Baudhas, Sahasrārjuna-Haihayas,
Candrātreyas, Kalacuris, Raṭṭas, Yādavas, Tomaras,

Kauśikas, Kaukuras, and Kuśyas: these are proclaimed as Lunar [dynasties].
The Aikṣvākus, Nikumbhas, Mauryas, Sāgaras,

as well as the Kacchapaghātas, Rāghavas, Gobhilas,
and the Gāhaḍavālas: these are proclaimed as Solar [dynasties].

The Cāhamānas, Mallas, Chindas, Cāpotkaṭas,
Caulukyas, Śilāhāras, Hūṇas, Brahmavāhujas,

the mighty Paramāras born from the fire altar,
the Śālukikas, and the Sendrakas: these are remembered as Kādraveyas.

From Veṇa was born Pṛthu the son of Veṇa; from him the Pratihāras arose;
the Vainateyas are indeed Tārkṣyas, while the Pālas are the lowest of Kṣatriyas.

Thus the classes of Kṣatriyas.
The Upakeśas, Prāgvāṭas, Rohitas, Mahotsavas,
Māhiṣmatyas, Vaiśālyas, Kauśāmbyas, and Śrāvakās,

and the merchants from Ayodhyā and the Gurjaras are famous on earth;
those of Ujānī are wealthy; the goldsmiths are the lowest of merchants.

The merchants of Jajāhuti are born from the rays of the moon.

Thus the classes of Vaiśyas.

Thus ends the eighteenth chapter in the Vyāsapurāṇa of the Vallālacarita, entitled "The Proclamation of the Classes of the Three Twice-Born Varnas."

Now the nineteenth chapter.
